International Market Challenges • Norway not wellknown (as studyabroadcountry) • Whystudyinternational business in Norway? • Findingthe right niches: Energy, Shipping etc? • PerceptionofNorway as an expensivecountry • Scandinavia’s/ Norway’sreputation as a region/countrywherehighereducation is for ’free’ • Ranking(s) • Two-year master degrees • Growing and aggressive competition • Netherlands, Germany, France, Denmark, Finland, Sweden
India – a case study • US$13 billion is spent every year by about 450,000 Indian students enrolled in higher education abroad • Over 150,000 students every year go overseas for university education • The primary reason for a large number of students seeking professional education abroad is lack of capacity in Indian institutions. • Students of Indian origin are traveling in higher numbers than ever before to pursue higher education abroad • Why do Indian students study abroad? • Quality of education in countries such as India is not as good as it is abroad • They want to experience education in different socio-economic-climatic setting • Education abroad has high symbolic social status value • Education is the best excuse to enter the 'first world' and settle there. Living conditions are better (mainly from materialist point of view) there than where they live.
